[Scummvm-devel] Adding splashscreen to ScummVM

[Eugene Sandulenko]

Hi Team,

We are considering to copycat DOSBox team and add a splashscreen to ScummVM.

The splash will serve several purposes:
  * Add visibility
  * Protect us from illegal and silent borrowings of our product.

I am thinking of showing this only when ScummVM is launched with
target specified in the command line, i.e. otherwise our GUI will show
up and that one already contains our logo. The time of the display
will be something along 0.6sec, i.e. noticeable but not annoying
during the development, and it will not be optional at compile time.

What do you guys think about it?

I got a designer who works on it, and soon I will provide sketches for
those who are interested in the process. If you like to affect the
selection process, please speak up so I will share the proposed
designs with you.


Eugene
